barbecue July 2nd.-HOp GaZelLe. Thanks, Bro. Betts. we will try and be on hand.
 Capt. w. J. Blake has lad upon orr table a fine stalk of cotton cou. taining sixty bolls and squal es, from the farm of Mir. c. R. Blake, of Union township. The stalk is nearly waist high, and well devel- oped Mir. Blake had cotton blooms on the 9th inst.
 Mrs. Mary B. Scott, of Rosston, will please allow us to bow our grateful thanks for large box of hue vegetables and apples. Such remembrances cheer the heart of the poor, country editor, during the dull summer season. Mir. Scott reported crops fine.
 Mir. Fred Chambers, proprietor of the "Pr0hibition Fowl Yards,' of Emmet, was in town Friday, and brought us a fine Light Brahma, about two thirds grown, to bake, for which he has our hearty thanks. Mir. Chambers has some very fine blooded fowls of different varieties
 Prof. J. w. Conger, the clever President of Ouachlta College. Ar. kadelphia, was in town yesterday and gave us pleasant call and an adv, to which attention is called. Parents wishing to educate their children in first class college and home institution, should patrOnize this one.
 Mir. W. B. Garrett of Laneburg, one of Nevada's most enterprising young farmers, brought in the first load of roasting ears Monday. and Beaury Harwood bought them. They were very large and fine. Mir. Garrett brought in the first load last summer. The editor bows his best thanks, for a fine mess given him.
 Friday, according to previous ar rangement, the Hope and Prescott colored base ball clubs played their 2nd match game here. The score stood If to l9 in favor of Prescott, which makes twice our colored nine beat Hopes. Prof. $. T. Boyd ably and satisfactorily umpired both games. Next Friday the same clubs will play here again. It seems the Hopeites are hard to satisfy.
 We see from the circular of State Superintendent of Educa- ton, that district Normal Insti- tute will be taught one week at Hope, for white teachers, begin ming July 18th. Also district Normal Institute, for colOred teachers, one week, will be taught here, commencing at the same time. School Directors are re. quested to meet Supt. Thompson on Friday of Institute week.
 Col. w. Jasper Blackburn, the venerable editor of the Little Rock Republican, was in Prescott Sat urday, circulating among old friends. He is generally acknOwl- edged to be one of the most gifted writers that ever mounted the tri- pod in the South. Occasionally he gives his younger brethren of the craft a sound drubbing, but they generally take their ''medi- cine" like little men, with little fuss.
 Mir. Ira k. McMiliOn and wife left Monday to visit relatives and friends at Holly Springs and other places. AS our readers know, Mir. NJ. is the industrious representa- tive O: Messrs. Wolf & Bro, of Lit. tie Rock. He is off for a months vacation, after which he will, on the 10th of July, start on his first trip selling fall and winter goods. The PICAYUNE wishes him much pleasure and recreation, during his lay-ofi.
 Messrs. Ansley, Pittman, Zones x Co. went down to Bluff City Sat. urday to see obout the meeting of the County Wheel. They hope to use the Wheel for political purpo ses. All farmers should join the Wheel, regardless of politics and irustrate their scheming designs. Let Democrats, Greenbackers, Re publicans and all join this labor or ganization for the purpose of ben eftting themselves and eXhalting their calling.
 Two reputable gentlemen tell us
